A independently translated Safer Food, Better Business (SFBB) pack for UK food businesses, designed for teams where English is not the first language of staff responsible for food safety.

By helping staff clearly understand food safety rules, complete checks properly, and follow consistent processes that inspectors look for when awarding ratings.

This is an independent translation of the official English SFBB guidance, provided to support understanding. It follows the same page and section layout, and structure as the original SFBB for Caterers produced by the Food Standards Agency. Please note this translated pack is not approved or endorsed by the Food Standards Agency.

Food businesses are legally required to have a documented food safety management system.

Safer Food, Better Business (SFBB) itself is not mandatory. However, it is specifically designed to help small businesses meet this legal requirement in a clear and practical way. For many smaller food businesses, using SFBB is far simpler and more reliable than creating food safety management procedures from scratch.

These translations are designed to help business owners and staff clearly understand and apply SFBB guidance where English is not their first language.

During an inspection, the Environmental Health Officer needs to be confident that you are managing food safety effectively.

They will usually review your Safer Food, Better Business (SFBB) pack and check that the safe methods have been completed correctly. The inspector may then compare what is written in the pack with what they observe in your kitchen.

The inspector will also check that all relevant sections of the pack have been completed and kept up to date. This typically includes the safe methods completion record, cleaning schedules, and staff training records. Clear, accurate, and consistent records help demonstrate that food safety is being actively managed, not just documented.

An easy-to-use, fully translated Safer Food, Better Business (SFBB) pack including a 52-week diary and 13 months of refrigeration and food safety record sheets. It is designed to support daily food safety checks, help prevent spoilage, and demonstrate clear paperwork compliance during inspections.

The pack covers all key SFBB areas:

• Cross-contamination
• Cleaning
• Chilling
• Cooking
• Management
• Using the diary
